About This Treatment

Microsurgical varicocelectomy treats enlarged veins in the scrotum that impair sperm production and male fertility. Chinese urological microsurgeons perform high-volume varicocele repairs using sub-inguinal microsurgical techniques with low recurrence rates. This procedure can significantly improve sperm parameters and natural conception chances.

Procedure Steps
1

Diagnostic Evaluation

Physical examination, scrotal Doppler ultrasound to confirm varicocele grade, and comprehensive semen analysis to document baseline parameters.

Duration: 1 day
2

Microsurgical Varicocelectomy

Sub-inguinal approach using an operating microscope to identify and ligate dilated veins while preserving testicular arteries, lymphatics, and the vas deferens.

Duration: 1-2 hours
3

Post-operative Recovery

Same-day or next-day discharge with pain medications, scrotal support, activity restrictions, and ice application instructions.

Duration: 1 day
4

Follow-up Semen Analysis

Repeat semen analyses at 3 and 6 months post-surgery to document improvements in sperm count, motility, and morphology.

Duration: 6 months monitoring
